[bartender187]

^^^^
Interesting.... Ive never overylayed a voice onto a post.... most of the time i just hear my ugly voice reading the posts in my head.

really bartender? I think I half-unconsciously attribute a complete physical person to who is on the other side. I srot of conjure the person in my imagination based on the style of writing, the content and the selection of avatar (not necessarily the avatar itself, more the type of avatar).

Ms. G, yeeeeehaaaawwwww we've removed a barrier
Takes on a whole new meaning doesn't it? :smile:

I think deep down men are just as curious as we are, and "connect" more often than we do, at least that's the idea I get from friends and posts on the boards. I've seen many guys here posting that they went to help out so and so with this and that. On the flip side of this I think that women take the initiative to hook up much less often, but when they do they give much more meaning to it. Just a personal idea of mine on the subject.

Kinda like quality over quanity?

I really like this thread, and its weird, cause I am a straight guy, but blue initially confused me for a woman =) hello blue *wave*. I'm just a guy really big into spirituality and really just a softie. but anyhow, I love human behavior and you chicks really have me interested in how you girls think and act. To see that you develop voices while reading amuses me, cause like bartender my internal voice is only me. But I dont read a lot of novels/literature either, maybe my brain isnt trained to talk in multiple tones, I can force my internal voice to be in a different tone which is weird, but I dont develop another tone for a different poster.

What is the internal voice in your head ? what causes it ? sometimes you can control what you think, sometimes you cant shut it off, othertimes I'm too stoned for it to come out right, and I babble (right now lol, gotta love AK)

- And as to friends::
My mom - twice divorced and living in a rural area has very few friends, and does not smoke at all regularly, sometimes when I go home to visit I can get her to toke up with me, but its once every 4-6 months. She just doesnt go out and do very social activities, and if she does she waits to be approached. Cool for some guys to come up I guess, but not a lot of girls gravitate to the girls groups, so she doesnt gain friends... she just never goes out.

I am a huge "pothead" and have a lot of close friends, about 6 close guy friends, and another 4-5 close girlfriends. I'm in college and am always doing social activities a lot, I personally dont do a lot of Adult social stuff either (bars, clubs, parties) althought I'm over 21 as I'm home hitting the vaporizor and watching movies/playing foosball..... its just my friends have a lot of friends and they have friends, and everyone is young, and always doing something at their house, monopoly, pool, foosball, scrabble is a blast, poker, other card games... and 6-15 people will show up and have a good time, sometimes with new people that you meet , and theres always pot around the core 5-8 of us that throw the social event, so everyone there either becomes okay with us smoking, or we confront any issues with it up front.

But my time is different than my mom's time, she was a house mom for the past 20 some odd years and hasnt gone out to do things, and "date" or just go to a bar, bum a cigarette of someone and talk to them .... damn the US and cigs, but whatever.

Sorry for the long post, just really stoned, and figured if I share some, you girls will analyze, get to know me better, and we can learn some from each other =)

wickyd

who knows

[cough_cough_eer]

I also invision what people might look like from thier post . kinda like my job when I order suplies over the phone then at the end of the year everybody shows up at a trade show and we see who looks like thier voice. I look nothing like my voice, so Im told. uummmm now, I wonder if I look like my writing But you guys can invision me as a umm super model type chick.
I don't look like my avitar.........yet.

Very interesting thread... I have to say I'm like bartender too, I just read everything somewhat monotone in my head. I agree though, it sort of depends on the style of writing of the poster. If someone writes with no punctuation and no paragraphs, it comes across bland. If they take the time to make the post unique and use lots of pics, smileys and unique grammar, their personality shows much more. From now on I will give more thought to the person behind the poster. :wink:

PS: The two people I've met from IC, well, they didn't look anything like I had imagined... not even close.

edit.. noticed the title is ladies lounge.. lol.. hope you dont mind me stopping in.

I hear my own voice when i read most posts but if I've met the person I tend to hear their voice and see their face...we have chatted in a channel on IRC[internet relay chat] years ago and met with a bunch of the ppl from there in austin texas, it was a trip, your right gis, nobody looked like i thought they would. we have met a few ppl from here and you get an image in your head and the person walks up and you think"wow, thats not what i thought they would look like" but they sit down and you feel like you've known them forever, its a cool thing did you guys call each other by your icmag names at the cup or did you introduce your real name?...just curious have a great day !

Hey Mrs. Babba :smile:

At the Cup we used our screen names, though I told my real name to a few people who were there. But they continued to call me Blue. Its really hard to pin a real name on a person you've been calling something else on the boards for over a year, and actually use it.

wickyd ()and shorts, this is the ladies lounge but you guys are more than welcome (bartender too of course, and any others who want to drop in). Interesting to see the differences between the male and female thought processes. Seems the women are much more visual in their thinking, though I don't think it has to do with having a more or less vivid imagination...gonna have to think about that
